Thirty episodes! And it’s way past time we hit Star Trek again. This time, it’s the series that brought the franchise back to TV. Plus, with the new Picard series coming soon, it’s good to catch up with the Captain, Riker, Data, and all the rest.

Star Trek: Reunited

, , Star Trek

Specifically, CBS and Viacom are merging back into one entity. Previously, CBS owned the TV rights to Star Trek while Viacom owned the movie rights (they split up in 2006). It’s partly what led to the JJ Abrams 2009 reboot movies, rather than a continuation of the TNG/DS9/VOY story arc. This will also mean that all of Paramount’s movies will be (theoretically) available on CBS All Access in the future.

In sadder Star Trek news, Barbara March, the actress behind the cunning and ruthless Lursa, has passed away at 65 from cancer. May she live on in Sto’Vo’Kor.

New Podcast: Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia

, , Podcasts, Star Trek

Are you a Dork? A Geek? A Nerd? Or all of the above?

Every week, I’ll be rolling out a new podcast with 30 questions on a Geeky topic. Not-so-surprisingly, Episode One is all about Star Trek: The Original Series. Think of it as an in-home game show to play by yourself or with your friends.

Twenty-Five Years of Deep Space Nine

, Star Trek

Image result for deep space nine posterBy the Prophets! Has it really been a quarter of a century since DS9 debuted?

Giving us a darker, richer, more character-driven series than the previous two incarnations of Star Trek (and most TV Sci-Fi), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine set out on different path and changed the genre forever. By not allowing the characters to warp away from the previous week’s adventure, they were forced to deal with long-term consequences.

The show had its ups and downs. Sure there was “Move Along Home” and “Time’s Orphan” but there was also “The Visitor,” “Duet,” and “In the Pale Moonlight.”

Raise a glass of kanar or bloodwine (2309 vintage, if you please) in toast.

Variety has a great write-up on the series and it’s 25th birthday.

Star Trek: Discovery Gets A Second Season

, , Star Trek

Apparently enough people are signing up for CBS All Access to warrant a second season of the newest entry in the Star Trek family.

Six episodes in, what do you all think (or are you, like me, waiting until the season wraps and binge it all)?

Happy 30th Birthday, Star Trek: The Next Generation

, , Star Trek

Thirty years ago today, Star Trek returned to TV for the first time in two decades. What we got was awkward at first, but turned into something incredible.

Lest it get too big for its britches, the crew at Screen Junkies have put together a loving little roast of TNG in the form of an honest trailer.

What was your favorite TNG moment (aside from that epic moment Crusher got down with a space ghost)?
